520			_aBribing is the major indicator of corruption in administration and it involves both the giver and taker. Evolving in a verity of ways and means, it is a key impediment in the realization of good governance in developing countries like India. Combating corruption has become a hard nut to crack, as it persists in an environment conducive to it. It also causes wastage of public resources. Several legal and administrative measures have been taken to arrest the corrupt practices, since independence. But the implementation of the anti corruption policies has been weak as well as leaned towards punishing the bribe takers (officials). Bribe givers had been treated mildly and hardly punished. Recently, the present Union Government has laid emphasis on punishing the bribe givers through Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act 2018. The situation attracts the attention of the students of Indian administration to examine the law in the context of punishing bribe givers. Towards that end the present paper intends to examine the law to punish bribe giver with a precise deliberation over the background of existing anti-corruption laws and challenges for the heuristic purpose. – Reproduced
